Global Optical Imaging Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The global market size for optical imaging is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.62% between 2023 to 2028. As a result, the market worth is forecasted to be USD 2.33 billion in 2023 and USD 3.21 billion by 2028.

Optical imaging is a popular technique used to get a clear image of different body organs and tissues in living organisms using non-ionizing radiation. These images are generated by photons of light with wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to near-infrared. Optical microscopy, spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography, endoscopy, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, laser, and Doppler imaging are optical imaging techniques. Optical imaging is used for pharmacological studies. Pharmacology is the study of observing the complex physiological effects of a drug in a complex living organism. Optical imaging is cost-effective, safe, and easy to use.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global optical imaging market:

Due to the increasing COVID-19 pandemic spread, researchers shifted their focus to biomedical to find solutions for the coronavirus. These days most of the researchers focus on getting detection tools to find the spread of the virus, as increased screening and identification capacity becomes essential for public health, firstly they use the nasopharyngeal swab method and then detection of RNA using the real-time polymerase chain reaction by collecting samples who suffers from the disease. Screening exams are used to detect early disease symptoms. Optical technology is also used to detect viruses in human samples. Use of nanomaterials to detect the viral antibodies in the human immunodeficiency virus. Spanish researchers found optical methodology for detecting the coronavirus is fast and simple screening at the University of Seville. As a result, the optical imaging market has had favorable growth during the COVID-19 era.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growing aging population, technological advancements, and increased usage of optical imaging are propelling the optical imaging market.

People above 60 years of age are more prone to neurological diseases, including stroke Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. The main benefit of optical imaging is used to produce clear cellular and subcellular images of the brain's functions for suitable treatment. In addition, optical imaging is used in cancer research and provides market growth opportunities. It is used to locate human cancers in locations accessible by an optical imaging device. For example, breast cancer occurs more in women leading to death. This can be reduced by early detection of breast cancer. X-ray mammography is widely used for the early detection of breast cancer in women.

Nanotechnology has the highest demand in medicine and biological fields. It is used in optical imaging for the diagnosis of oncology. Optical imaging is also used in biomedicine to monitor tissue and disease processes dynamically. First, the near-infrared (NIR-I) window imaging approach has been widely used in clinical diagnosis with a wavelength range from 700 to 900 nm.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

On the other hand, the lack of skilled professionals, stringent regulatory approval procedures, and high costs of instruments are hampering the growth of the optical imaging market. In addition, the limited penetration depth of optical imaging and lack of awareness of imaging is further anticipated to inhibit the growth rate of the optical imaging market.
